Being first time buyers we were very nervous about the mortgage application process but Westexe Mortgages made it so simple and easy; they removed all of our worries! They responded to all of our questions and really went above and beyond in the services offered. Our mortgage in principle was arranged almost immediately, which enabled us to quickly put in an offer on our dream home. They ensured the mortgage application was completed quickly and even chased the providers for us where needed. The process couldn't have been smoother and we can't thank you enough for all of your help! We're now settling

We cannot rate Wessex Mortgages enough, we just purchased our first home and dealt with Darren. From the very beginning we have been kept in the loop and explained every single step of our mortgage (as first-time buyers we had no idea what we were in for!). The process was made so straight forward to us, any questions that we had were answered literally the same day and its small little details like these that make up the bigger experience. We had a complex mortgage, and of course it was being processed during a pandemic. Darren battled our corner every step of the way and even stepped up to help
